Re: motor issues

I've unstuck a couple of rusty engines. The first one I squirted an oil/diesel mixture into the spark plug holes with a squirt type oiler. After I finally got it unstuck, I ran it without the plugs to get most of the oil/diesel mixture out. The second one I removed the heads and soaked the pistons with straight diesel for a few days. I mainly wanted to get the pistons unstuck. I wasn't going to use them for regular driving at the time.

In both cases I rebuilt the engine for excessive oil burning. They were in pretty bad shape to begin with...
